Most communities are not the sole community related to their topic, there are really often other communities on the same, or similar topics.

An example: there are a tonne of art related comunities, but only a small handful of them have links to other related communities.

It would be great if there was more of a culture of propping up semi-related communities. This would be particularly useful for helping more niche communities get rolling.

I agree! If you DM the mods or make a meta post, I feel like they'd happily add a section. Sometimes they aren't aware of the other communities

If anyone ever messaged me with a suggested addition to the sidebar for one of my communities, it would make my day. This is fedi, not reddit -- be friendly with your local mod.

I only really run one, but I'd be ecstatic if someone made a good recommendation for a related community.

Seconded! Also should help with discoverability overall, still one of the weaker points of the fediverse.

I'd love some suggested communities related to !selfhosted@lemmy.world!
